Member Since: September 2006 Posts: 5 Send Message	Does anyone share a tree with me I wonder? My Father was one of 10 children who were born and lived in Retford for generations. It should be so easy!! They lived firstly in London Road and then Springfield Road in Retford Notts. The family name is Jackson and my Grandparents were still there in the 1970's until they died. My father died 30 years ago and left me no information or documents relating to his family other than their names. However, they all seem to have been given one name at birth and been known by another......what a family!! I am struggling at the first hurdle!! Can anybody help???? Pauline
